Earth as an Island
All organisms on Earth share a limited resource
base and depend on it for their long-term survival.
To protect these resources, we need to understand
how humans interact with the biosphere.

Agriculture
The Green Revolution
The green revolution was an effort in the midtwentieth century to increase global food
production through modern plant breeding and
agricultural techniques.
Over the last 50 years, the green revolution has
helped world food production double.

Challenges for the Future
While increasing world food supplies, modern
agriculture has created ecological challenges. For
example:
• Monoculture leads to problems with insect
pests and diseases.
• Finding enough water for irrigation is difficult.
